Says that at the start of your back training to do as many reps as you can at a time until you hit 50, did that today, harder than I thought it would be. Back was pumped. Anyone else try it?

This sounds pretty good, did you then struggle a lot with the rest of your workout? i.e. a lot lower weights than you normally do

Yeah, pre-exhausting those lats must really make it tough, i'll definitely give this a shot next back workout, thanks.

That is the stupidest idea, in the world.
Look me in the eye. It's okay if you are scared, so am I, but we are scared for different reasons. I am scared of what I willn't become, you are scared of what I could become. Look at me! I will not let myself end where I started, I will not let myself finish where I begin. I know what is within me, even if you can't see it yet. Look me in the eyes, I have something more important than courage, I have patience. I will become what I know I am.

What's stupid about pre-exhausting a muscle before the workout, i've seen this technique used in a lot of workout plans, and it seems to workOriginally Posted by WannaBeATank

I always do this, except weighted pull-ups now. Back has gained so much width from weighted pull-ups and rack chins.

Arnold also did 5 minutes of straight roman chair sit ups. Every day during contest prep. According to a book I have. Austrian Oak wasn't playing around.

Why don't you try it before criticising it?Originally Posted by WannaBeATank
Put a lot of stress on the muscle till it's exhausted, then you don't have to use as much weight for more exercises, still producing the same result.
I'm not a scientist or anything, but it does make sense.
